Papas #80 part 1

Elian was in a coma, then in rehab. It was Iker who found her.

Tino tells Melina he destroyed his family, why? She says it was all Aide’s doings. And where’s Iker? Now they can form their own family, with Iker, their love child.

Clara Luz has an onion ring poised at Rudolf’s finger as she asks him to marry her. He shakes his head no. Clara Luz says no! Rudolf says yes or no.Jorge and Julio appear. He tells Rudolf to tell her how he feels. He says, I love you. Jorge sings a song, the diners clap.

Uli tells his other three detectives that he’s been keeping in touch with Iker. Celina is the evil twin and Iker found Melina, his mom. Chofis is happy she was right about them being twins.

Melina explains that Hernan is Iker’s dad. Her sister was not around. She worked in the casino and discovered she was pregnant with Iker. Celina reappeared. Their parents had died in an accident.

Rino tries to use his phone. Celine realizes and throws it out the window. She says he’s not going back to his family. She tells him Circe will always depend on a man, Uli will have his recordings with him, Scarlet is marked by Facundo’s past, Emi will be the same and Alexander will go to Lila. He wonders why she has so much hate, his family is all about love, which she has never known.

Poncho tells Serena things are going well, Cheno is at the door. He came for Poncho, they’re going to the gym. He says hi to Prisma and the twins, who are doing homework. Serena asks about his wound. She says she almost has a job, and it’s not cleaning.

Celina showed up just when she found out she was pregnant. She thought she’d changed. She introduced her to Hernan. Celina took her job at the casino the same day Tino started working there.

Tino has been reaching for the horn. Celina tells him to stop. She tells him they’ve been united since that day in the casino.

Melina says she took Iker away from her sister and Celina, although Hernan always knew where she was.

Celina says his mother said Hernan was always a good dad, especially to kids that weren’t his. Tino says don’t compare him to Hernan.

Hernan got in touch with Melina. He thought he wanted to get to know his son. But he wanted her to tell Tino he was that dad, he told her Tino was a good dad. She said no and the next day Celena contacted her. Hernan told Celina that Melina didn’t want to go along with the plan. They’ll do it and split all the money they get from Tino.

A policeman stops Celina. She’s driving very badly and he wants to see her papers. She says something about Tino and the officer asks if he feels ok. Tino says no, he feels bad, as he jnstraps and falls out of the car. When the cop comes to help him Tino tells him he’s being kidnapped. Celina disappears.
 

Papas 80:part 2

Celina texts Melina. Although you son doesn’t know me, I’d love to meet my nephew. Melina agrees and will walk to meet Celina. While walking she looks up Tino and starts sending him a text, saying you don’t know me, but I can’t keep quiet…She gets hit by a car. Celina is driving and Hernan is with her. He wonders why she did that. Hernam thinks she’s dead, Celina has him put her in the trunk. He thought they’d kidnap her, killing her wasn’t part of the plan. He can’t believe she’s so cold, this is her sister. Celina says, from now on Celina is dead and I’m Melina. It will make their plan easier. Hernam wants out, he says she’s crazy. In the present, Melina says her sister never knew Hernam left her at the hospital. Gisela says it’s his one act of humanity. Our four were listening at the door.

Aurelio didn’t know what happened to him. The car was gone and he shouldn’t be driving. Tino says it’s a long story as a nurse wonders what he’s doing there in his street clothes. She asks Aurelio if he helped him.

Our four detectives have joined the group. After talking with Uli Íker decided to go to Quietaro to find his real mom. Gisela says she needs to denounce Celina. Melina says she did, in quieraro, but withdrew it when Iker found her. She says she had a long recovery and no cell phone. Sheygoing to denounce them both for attempted murder. Aide says Hernan’s been assassinated. Melina says by Celina. They say probably. Melina says her sister is very dangerous. The police have advised them of this. Scarlet and Emi come in. Scarlet gives him a hug, then seeing Milena, steps back. Iker says it’s ok. This is his real mom. And he’s not their brother, he’s their uncle!

Cheno is teaching Poncho at the gym. He says how he works out. Poncho wonders about friends and Cheno calls a teen over and introduces Poncho. She brings him to her other friends to work out together. Serena is in the background smiling.

Bill goes up to Lila telling her he spoke to the lawyer, she has to denounce them now. She’s not sure she wants to do that to Alexander. Bill says she has to, it’s her son, and then they’ll have the family they always wanted. He’ll give Alexander his last name. She says, we always wanted, or you, with your wife. And you were with Paulina.

After Iker knew he wasn’t part of the family he didn’t tell. He wanted to be a part of them. Scarlet says you’re our brother. Circe says you’ll always be part of the family. They all hug. Aide gets a call from Tino. She’s been trying to contact him. He wants to tell her about Melina, he’s worried, Aide interrupts to tell him Iker is here with his real mother, Melina. She’s starts to tell him about it, then says they’ll come to him.

Rudolf and Clara Luz tell Prisma they’re going to get married soon. Prisma is thrilled and wants to help organize it. Rudolf says it will be small, just their friends. Rosario is at the door. She wants to talk to them. They send the twins to their room. Rosario says thanks in part to Prisma, Serena is cleared of all charges. And Nazario has been arrested, and it’s much more serious than they thought.

Nazario is at the police station. He’s blaming Melina for everything. She shot Hernan and gave him the gun, she was laundering money, he says he has a video, of El Chacal and the necklace. The officer says there’s no such video. When accused of domestic violence he still blames Melina. The police officer talks about various accounts he has, and he deposited money to Hernam. The last time he says Melina he’s told she’s the one who denounced him.

I’ll thinks this is the perfect time to get cushy of Alexander. Lila says he’s egotistical. He says no, it’s Aide and Tino that are egotistical. That’s why he’s also going to get custody of Emi. They don’t deserve him. Lila asks why he never said he was going to try and get custody of her brother.






 

Papas,#80 part 3

Bill tells Lila that Tino is sick and Aide has a heart condition, so it’s the perfect time. Lila wonders if he really loves her or just wants to hurt Aide and Tino. He says don’t be foolish. She removes her apron and leaves. Bill grabs her arm and she tells him not to touch her.

Serena thanks Cheno for getting close to Poncho. He says he’s just doing it to be a male figure in his life. Serena is pleased, he wonders if she’s ready to take him back. She says he has to lose his macho attitude. He sings a cute song and they end up kissing. Poncho asks what that significies. Serena says they’ll go little by little.

Lila thinks back to her conversation with Melina. She realizes she was a fool.

Aide tells Tino what’s going on. Tino says it doesn’t matter, Iker is still his son. Aide says he’s outside and needs to hear it from you. Íker comes in. He apologizes for not telling when he found out. He had to find his real mom. Tino says it doesn’t matter. They share the same blood and he’ll always look on him as a son.

Lila shows up at bad Melina’s. She needs help. Even Bill deceived her. Melina tells her Aide and Gisela are planning to have Gisela take her to the US and hide her. Melina promises to help her. She has a plan where Aide will give her Alexander without resisting.

The police officer is questioning Tino. He asks if she used force or had a gun when she kidnapped him. He says no. The policeman says the same gun that killed Hernan was the same one used on El Cjacal the night of Berta’s memorial. Tino says Nazario wasn’t there, but Celina was. The officer says she’s implementing others for what she’s doing. Tino says she’s getting worse. The officer says that can work in their favor, she’ll begin to make errors. The doctor comes in. Tino wants to recover at home. The doctor will check some things and see.

Aide and Aurelio bring Tino in. Alexander and Gisela welcome him and Aurelio takes him to his room. Aide gets a call from an unknown phone. It’s Lila. She says she’s not going to take Alexander but wants to talk to Aide alone. She says all that happened to her was Aide’s idea. She asks her to bring Alexander. She’ll send the address. Aide tells Gisela she’s going to see Lila. Meanwhile, Lila thanks Melina for helping her get her son. Celina says you don’t have to thank me I’m doing it for justice. As Lila turns, Celina hits her on the head with a wooden vase and knocks her out. Celina calls someone to help her. She has money and will send the address.

Tino thanks Gisela for feeding and taking care of him and the kids. He asks if she’ll send Aide up and she tells him she left to see Lila and took Alexander. Tino says,that’s something the two of them have to work out. They hear singing. It’s his four kids singing of love.

Aide and Alexander enter an apartment and see Celina. She,wonders why she’s here and where’s her daughter. She tells Aide Lila and Alexander aren’t hers. A man appears behind Aide and puts,something under her nose. She’s unconscious. Alexander says mommy. Celina tells him how lucky he is to have three moms that want him. He’s coming with her. She gives him a sucker and he goes.
 

MONTEVERDE #62, Part 1 of 4

Carolina Robes you are charged with aggravated fraud! As the words are spoken shock registers on both Carolina and her lawyer’s face. Carolina’s eyes are wide as saucers as she tries to process. The lawyer asks for her phone as the officer comes in, handcuffs at the ready. She is cuffed and clearly in shock.

Rosalia and Lucas argue; he tells her the secret is Franco’s not hers to tell. Franco comes in and Rosalia scathingly calls him “Arturo” before stalking off. Lucas tries to reason with her…

Hermana Celeste worries that Andres is still at Oscar’s. Hugo reassures her all is well. She gives him the side eye.

I believe it is the prosecutor who talks to Carolina. She tells him her husband is very violent. I think he asks her if she has any accomplices. The only one who is guilty of fraud is my husband Carlos Robles. He looks skeptical and condescending. He speaks so quickly I can only say the two volley back and forth verbally until he get up and leaves. Carolina evaporates into tears hugging her arms.

Angelina bids Juan David goodbye as Diego, Lucia, Doris and Cárcamo are engrossed in menus. He stands off to the side, rather at loose ends.

Carolina is locked in her cell when her lawyer comes. It’s not good news although the lawyer believes in her innocence.

Lucas effuses to Franco about his not yet born son. Franco then brings up his situation and Rosalia. I wish Lucas had asked Franco to come clean but sadly that did not occur.

Oscar comes into his room where the two boys are sitting up in bed watching TV. All of a sudden, Oscar takes the remote control and turns on the TV. Is it a family movie? A comedy? No, it’s a tragedy! There is Carolina, in the flesh being led away in handcuffs. Oscar stares hardly comprehending.

Father Gabriel and Manuel talk at the restaurant when all of a sudden the TV is turned on. Juanita stares seeing the same drama of Carolina being arrested for fraud. Manuel, Gloria, Hugo, Lucas and Franco all look stupefied. Gloria makes a snide comment but Juanita and Father Gabriel quickly put her in her place. Hugo holds Juanita and kisses her.

Oscar is still watching when the boys come in and fails to turn off the TV before they see what is transpiring. “No, no” Andres says in tears.

MONTEVERDE #62, Part 2 of 4

Mug shots are taken and Carolina is led into the women’s quarters where yelling and cat calls ensue as she walks down the prison hall of shame.

Finally, some hope. The lawyer meets Padilla at a café. He tells her he has important information relating to Carlos’ guilt. She asks what the price is and he writes it on a napkin pushing it toward her. She tells him the house is being sold and he will have his money (I think).

Andres runs into hermana Celeste’s arms. What is it she asks glaring at Oscar. Mi mama has been arrested he cries. Oscar apologizes for the way the boys found out. Juanita runs in and tells Celeste that Carolina is being investigated for fraud. My mother’s in jail Andres moans.

Carolina is in her beige prison guard as she is put into a cell. She cannot stop crying…

It is very bad Oscar tells Celeste. They discuss the situation. He tells her to tell Andres to be calm. Celeste wants to go to his house to call Carolina’s lawyer. Yes, she is welcome Oscar says sincerely.

“Room service” Juan David announces wheeling a cart into Diego and Lucia’s room; “Doris’ special” he announces. May I do anything else for you he asks? Diego pulls out his wallet but sadly Juan David doesn’t get the tip he has been wishing for.

Moises tells Oscar he is worried; Carolina is the mother of his good friend.

Mother Celeste calls the lawyer as Oscar lingers around the corner listening. He learns money is a problem. The lawyer promises to find a solution. Oscar runs like a rabbit into the living room before he is caught. Celeste thanks him. My sister is a good woman and doesn’t deserve to be in jail. Oscar agrees. I think he says Andres is always welcome at his house.

Carolina sits on her bunk recalling her conversation with Andres promising she wouldn’t leave him. All of a sudden, several of Carolina’s prison mates come in. Somehow, I sense there will be no pillow fights or hair braiding. The gang leader wants money, but of course she has none. A rather angry looking woman pats her down and confirms she is without a cent.

Juanita tries to calm a distraught Andres as he lays in bed.

MONTEVERDE #62, Part 3 of 4

An exhausted Juan David comes home complaining about his day to Angelina. He smiles at Angelina who looks adorable and comfy in bed in her cute green and white moon and stars pjs. All of a sudden, his radio goes off; Doris panics as she has no idea what the noise is. Juan David quickly puts his pants on and runs off.

Oscar is also having a sleepless night, tossing and turning. He sits up, with the vision of a handcuffed Carolina being put in the squad car running through his head.

Juan David rushes into the hotel to find Doris and Cárcamo standing there. There was no emergency but it seems they timed him and he took too long to get there. Juan David apologizes and is told they don’t need him for anything. Tough taskmasters. He tells Angelina the next morning and laments there is no internet.

The guard hits the bars with her baton to rouse the prisoners. Fortunately the occupant of the other bunk (actress Sachi Tamashiro) is friendly and smiling. She puts her arm around Carolina and leads her out of the cell.

Diego comes in to see Rosalia. He wants to talk to her about Lucia. She is my hermana Rosalia affirms. I think he tells her he is uneasy about her working for the “patron”. Rosalia gets nervous and talks quickly seemingly wanting him to leave before she says anything. Lucas comes in as Diego bids her goodbye. Lucas brings her sweets but she tells him she is not happy and is uncomfortable with the situation.

“Good morning and welcome to Doris’ place” Juan David announces as Angelina enters. He is trying so hard! She and Doris are excited about the internet.

Augustin brings hermana Celeste into Oscar’s office. He finally offers money to help Carolina out.

Lucia comes downstairs and tells Doris everything was wonderful. She asks if she has seen Diego. Just as Doris affirms she hasn’t, Diego reappears. Doris tells them they have to stay as she has some delicacies prepared, so they make themselves comfortable.

Carolina’s new friend is giving her the 411 about the other prisoners. The ones who were threatening her watch from the back of the “cafeteria”. Carolina is told to avoid them, which is hard to do as they are making unfriendly faces at her.

Manuel rightly guesses Juanita is worried about Carolina. He is sure hermana Celeste will ensure things are handled. Then he asks about Oscar.

Juan Davia and Angelina inquire about getting internet. They are handed papers to sign.

MONTEVERDE #62, Part 4 of 4

Father Gabriel has set a huge plate of brownies in front of Andres. Even those luscious, sweet treats don’t tempt him. Hemana Celeste arrives and is invited to partake of brownies. No she answers but thanks him. Father talks about Andres’ classes. Celeste has a favor (not sure what it is) and jots the number down. Then there is a knock on the door and a woman walks in. Hermana Celeste puts out her hand and introduces herself. “Erika” the woman answers. Poor Father Gabriel looks totally frazzled.

In the last scene of the evening, we see Carlos sitting in a café. All of a sudden, Padilla joins him. I can’t translate but it seems Padilla reported Carolina’s “bad” luck and Carlos seems pleased. I have to assume they have patched up their differences and are now in cahoots?? Oh noes!

I tried to make light of the women threatening Carolina so as not to darken the mood. It seemed inevitable she’d end up in jail but I hope the writers keep it fairly non-threatening and portray the other prisoners as annoying rather than frightening. Not realistic I know but the spirit of this has been so good, let’s not spoil it now.

Did Doris and Cárcamo expect Juan David to fly over there? By how quickly he answered and took off, it seemed he did the best he could…

I had hoped Oscar was going to hightail it to the prison to see Carolina but I’d wager Erika’s quick reappearance will put a monkey wrench in that…

PAPAS

Liz, thank you for your sharp, insightful recap of Melina keeping one step ahead, cruelly and resolutely running amok!

I couldn't believe Lila went to Melina, seeking solace and comfort. So, so sad. And also "Bill tells Lila that Tino is sick and Aide has a heart condition, so it’s the perfect time". Why is that parasite still here, still hanging on?

Sister, sister. One sugar and spice everthing nice. The other? Toxic and terrible. Melina is a parasite and a relentless one at that.

Just about everyone in this will need lifelong counseling to try and lead a somewhat normal life.

I was lost in the dialogue so many times here Liz yet you explained all that occurred and did so splendidly.

Also, Susan, ever since I read your hilarious comment "Why does Lila always wear that tiny triangular scarf!?!?" my eyes immediately focused on that silly scarf every time she is onscreen... :)

Well tomorrow will likely be an exercise in terror until the last few minutes. I'm buckling up for the bumpy ride right now.

Diana
 

Doménica

Again, good luck Elvira

Another disappointing episode 😔

Anon


 

Domenica eps 39-43 part 2

Anon, I’m here! I got caught up with other things and suspect I’ll do most of this week’s recapping over the weekend, but I want to try a start. I apologize again for not getting back sooner!

Like with last week, since I’m covering several episodes, I’m going to go back and forth covering various storyline “threads” in a fluid, loose way. It’ll be sort of in order, but also go back and forth.

Prudencio had that terrible fight with Mercedes and left/was kicked out of the hacienda. He initially thought he could find a place to rent in town, but that fell through, so he brings Adelaida to Domenica’s hacienda so she can stay there and he’ll find somewhere else. Domenica would welcome both of them, but Prudencio doesn’t want to be around Pedro when Pedro still hasn’t forgiven him. Domenica says she’ll have a talk with Pedro, but Prudencio doesn’t want to just be tolerated, so if the forgiveness isn’t from the heart, he’ll stay away.

When Pedro sees this, and sees Nana and Adelaida tearfully kiss Prudencio goodbye so he can stay somewhere else, all the memories of how good Prudencio was to him during all his life flash back - Prudencio giving him toys, teaching him how to ride, making sure he gets fed. Pedro breaks down and can longer take it. He blurts out that now that he’s a grown man, he can understand what a man will do for the love of a woman (reference to Prudencio protecting Mercedes’s secret about Pedro being the love child of her husband, etc). Pedro forgives Prudencio with tears, and they both hug.

Now that Prudencio and Pedro work for the same hacienda, they share notes on things. Prudencio remembers an agricultural engineer (don’t know the right term) who is hired by hacienda owners, who approached Prudencio to cut a deal with him to essentially rob a little money behind the hacienda owner’s back. The engineer’s name was Omar. Prudencio turned him down, but wonders if he ended up in Domenica’s hacienda. Some sleuthing reveals he did, this Omar guy cut a deal with Genaro. (Also, Omar was the guy who guided the poisoning of Luis’s bean crop.) These investigations continue as they realize that Genaro is padding the accounting books with inflated purchases and expenses that are needlessly generous or gratuitous. This, they assume, is to cover Genaro stealing from the hacienda.

During these episodes, Gabriel is becoming increasingly frantic to help his family and protect them, and it’s obvious he’s very scared and worried about safety after he (previously) overheard Genaro and Cosme’s widow talking about doing Cosme in. He realizes that his two former business socios will kill to get their way. He keeps in trying to keep Osvaldo away from Genaro, but Osvaldo isn’t having it and sees no problem with his crooked godfather.

Cute Lawyer continues to pay a private investigator to look into Max. He and Godfather agree that despite Max being a hero sometimes, he could still be not as he seems, and requires more scrutiny. Turns out that Max fabricated some things about his past - he’s not from Costa Rica, for one, but also, he has a different last name. Domenica and everyone else are pretty outraged by this, especially when he never got a name change legally. He claimed he changed his last name to get more professional acceptance. Somehow the new name is “better” somehow? In any case, Domenica is especially offended because apparently he would have married her under his fake name and never told her, and this is not okay.

Silvi is trying to put the moves on a totally gormless Pedro. He’s upset that Nieves is going out with Osvaldo, so in order to discourage him in continuing to love Nieves, Silvi implies that Osvaldo is secretly getting into the community center to have late night trysts with Nieves. As Silvi tries to kiss Pedro, he says that he “respects” her as she is a “señora” and older. Silvi is very bent out of shape over that.

Can’t do more right now, hopefully later in the day!


 

Domenica

I enjoyed this episode. Watching Prudencio all dressed up to marry lovely Nana was fun. The smoldering hot chemistry between LuisFe and Domenica was on full display. When Kiara made her flashy entrance, she contrasted with everyone else who was there for the couple. Mercedes is wounded but shows no signs of trying to rectify her harsh and lonely position. I enjoy Pilar and Andres. Remember when Pedro was mad at everyone? That’s way in the past now as he has become the heart of his family. But Gabriel is right to worry about his son.

Papas

Thanks Diana, this is one terror after another. I guess Lila wasn’t in touch with her siblings to know her. I have trouble looking at good Melina and telling myself she’s nice. Celina’s actions left a mark on me too! I had to laugh at your comment to Susan. I now notice the scarf on all the time! I think I thought it was for work, and never realized she never took it off. Sometimes her face looks so young.
Hopefully everything will be resolved tonight. I don’t like when something isn’t. Sometimes with a bad person they don’t hold them accountable for everything.
 

Papas
Liz, thank you so much for guiding us through this minefield of events.
As for that triangle scarf , Lila wore one all the time in season one . I guess I noticed it because I had one that i wore once in a while as a teen . is the actress playing Lila the same as season one ?

I am completely confused about the whole Melina \_Celina story . Maybe it will help if we call them Good Twin\Bad Twin . So ..let me try to figure it out. First, is Iker the son of awful old Hernan and Good Twin?? Second, which twin did Tino have a one night stand with? Third, which twin worked at the casino ? Also,
Did Hernan hit Good Twin with the car ? I am lost. Sorry .
I am ready for this show to be over . I should look up the writers and not watch any show they do. Susan
 

MONTEVERDE Extras parte 1

Thank you, Diana!

The arresting officer tells Carolina's lawyer that he doesn't think that home confinement will be an option because her client was a fugitive . After the officer leaves, the lawyer advises her to emphasize her husband's violence when talking to the interrogator. She asks for Carolina's phone so the police do not end up with it. Carolina ends up giving her her whole purse to keep. She is just worried that her son might find out she has been arrested.

Lucas goes off for a few brewskies with Franco so as not to annoy Lucía.

Sister Celeste is worried that Oscar might be mean to Andrés. Hugo tries to calm her fears saying that Oscar is the kindest person that he knows.He is sure that Oscar will appear with Andrés at any moment.

Prosecutor Domínguez is in charge of Carolina's case and is there to question her. (Interesting it is a one on one with no lawyer present)Carolina tries to explain that she was on the lam for as long as she was because she is afraid of her husband. He is very violent. The prosecutor seems to have heard that "story"countless times before. He demands to know where the money from the fraud is and who her accomplices are. She swears she has no idea where the money ended up . She had nothing to do with the fraud. She was betrayed by her husband and made the fall guy. He would bring her documents to sign and she would without reading them since he was her husband and she trusted him. He is unimpressed and informs her that he has heard her story more than once before, thousand of times! He asks if her husband really tricked her into this situation, why didn't she turn herself in long before now. She explains that she couldn't allow her husband to take her son away from her and labeling her as a criminal. She doesn't have a penny to her name or any property. She asks if they are going to let her leave as he exits.

Caroiina is jailed and asks her lawyer what is going on. Her lawyer is sorry to tell her but she is being transferred to the Santiago Prison. No matter how she argued for home confinement, the authorities would not grant it. It seems that the defrauded families have a lot of influence on the prosector's office so they are not about risk giving her home confinement. The lawyer says she is not giving up on that nor on finding evidence to prove her innocence. Carolina tells her to find Padilla. Her lawyer says she will see her the next day at the prison. She assures Carolina how much she believes in her innocence and how hard she will work to prove it.

It turns out that Franco and Julieta talk regularly and everything is fine with her.
Lucas warns Franco that he is playing with fire with his Rizo-Patrón act and he is going to get burned if he doesn't tell Lucía the truth and soon.

The good father quotes to Gloria "He who is without sin cast the first stone." which shuts her up.

It turns out that Carolina's house cannot be sold until she is found innocent. The sooner Padilla gives Celeste the USB and she can prove Carolina innocent, the sooner he will get his money. The lawyer and Padilla strike a deal on the USB in exchange for a future payment when the house is sold.
 

MONTEVERDE Extras parte 2

Seeing Andrés crying, Celeste's first assumption is that Oscar did something to make him cry but that is not the case.

Celeste tells Oscar that she fears if Carolina's case turns into a media circus, it will only hurt her.

Oscar will even give Celeste a lift to his place to make her call.

Juan David is left high and dry because since Diego has no cash on him. Diego wants to transfer a tip to Juan David electronically. With no cellphone/internet service, that is impossible. Lucía assures him that she has no cash on her either, but will give him his tip the next time she sees him. She apologizes.

Oscar tells Celeste that he is concerned about Carolina's situation . . . because of Andrés of course! Celeste know he doesn't want to hear it but her sister is a good woman.She doesn't deserve to be in jail. Yes, Andrés is always welcome at Oscar's house. His being with Moisés will help him distract himself during this time. He has arranged a lift for Celeste back to the inn.

The gang leader calls Carolina "fresh meat" and welcomes her to hell. She is Armida the devil herself! Carolina goes to shake her hand and they all laugh. Armida informs Carolina that if she has no money there are other ways to make her pay.

Through the news clip running through Oscar's head, we find out that 25 families were defrauded. Oscar wonders how Carolina is doing and looks worried.

Cárcamo tells Juan David that from now on, he will have to sleep like firemen do: fully dressed a ready for action! Doris agrees that will better his time.

Aida is Carolina's cellmate. She is a pacifist at heart and leaves problems for the mathematicians They are off to the showers and she warns Carolina that if she doesn't keep her eyes peeled, they will leave her with nothing.

Juan David tells Angelina they have to go to Zacatillo to get internet service installed. If they don't, no foreign tourists will ever show up and he will never get a tip in dollars.

Diego knows that Rosalía is like Lucía's sister and would not be able to hide anything from her especially if i were going to hurt her . . . Lucía is suddenly on high alert and asks him what he is talking about. He cites yesterday when she told Lucía that she didn't want to see her being made a fool of. He cannot stop thinking about how suddenly Rizo-Patrón appeared. Is there something about that man that Lucía doesn't know about? Rosalía smiles and says that yesterday she explained that she was tired and got confused. That was all! He asks if she is sure. She makes it clear that if there is something that Lucía needs to know, she will tell her herself. He concludes she is saying there is something. Rosalía makes a point that she doesn't want to be rude but she has nothing to do with Lucía's job. She ends the conversation excusing herself explaining that her schedule is full of patients and she has to get to work. Lucas comes in. Diego says he and Lucía will stop by before they leave town. so she and Lucía can say goodbye. A smiling Rosalía says that is not necessary. She has so many patients she has to see today and she cannot interrupt her schedule. She tells him to say goodbye for her to Lucía and to tell her she will be see her soon. He wishes them a good day and leaves. Lucas has brought her some cookies. She doesn't care becasue she is upset that she has to lie to her best friend. Diego has already realized that something strange is going on. Due to him and Franco, she is involved up to her neck in this mess.
 

MONTEVERDE Extras pate 3

Aida tells Carolina Armida has a rotten soul and to stay away from her. When she finds out that she wants money from Carolina, Aida tells her that that she is going to need get her hands on some otherwise Armida is going to become fixated on her. Armida doesn't beat around the bush and when she wants something she will not stop until she gets it. Carolina complains that is not fair. Why do they allow things like that? Aida informs her that on the inside, nothing is fair. She advises her to always be alert. There is no other way.

Juan David and Angelina are is Zacatillo to enquire about getting internet/cell service for Monteverde. They have the signatures of all of the people in town who also are interested: 99.9%!

The good father is thinking of asking Oscar if Andrés can take classes with Moisés from the new teacher he hired. They all agree it would be a great idea. Celeste says that Oscar told her that Andrés was welcome at his place anytime. Celeste asks the good father, as long as he is gong to Oscar's, to call her sister's lawyer to see if there is any news. She writes down the phone number for him.

The good father is quick to tell Erika that Andrés was born in Mexico City and is a recent arrival. She is glad to know that, since then he cannot be . . . Andrés asks: cannot be who???

Yes, the supposed evidence on the USB is a part of Carlos' plan that Team Carolina is buying hook, line and sinker. Carlos is pleased with Padilla's progress.
 

MONTEVERDE

Diana, thanks for some very good laughs this morning and for identifying Sachi Tamashiro. She played another criminal in “Fugitivas”, didn’t she? Talk about type casting!!!

I hope that somebody tells Lucía the truth tonight, that Oscar talks to Erika about a DNA test, and that Carolina’s lawyer finds some sign somewhere that Padilla is lying. If only . . .




 

Domenica
Elvira, thank.you for another popping recap that cleared some things up for me .Pedro has become the voice of reason and righteousness .
Werewolf Max is full of ...secrets .
Gabriel is sudden!y realizing that he is in way over his head with head with Genero and Cosmetic' widow. I don't see that weasel Oswald making it to the end . Genero , who seems to be drinking more and more will throw him under the bus at some point .
I am glad that Prudencio and Nana got together . I love this actor Alberto Estrellos. His granddaughter actually smiled . Progress
Luis always looks weepy and stricken .
Love the way Kiki always wears a bright color to stand out in a crowd. Look at me !!! Susan
 

Doménica

Thanks Elvira

Incredible chemistry between Luis Fernando and Doménica during the wedding, but no reconciliation yet.

I wonder what mommy dearest is going to do now 🤔

Black widow and Genaro are in danger.

I was sad that Padilla is still working for Carlos, but I guess this way Oscar can be the savior, perhaps he will hire a better PI and solve the case. Not sure who rifles through Carlos stuff a while back and got evidence, hopefully.

Aida actress is typecast! Recognized her right away. At least Carolina has a friend in jail.

What an awful job for Juan David. On 24 hour call and only works for tips! I'm surprised such a small inn needs a bellboy at all. It's no Fawlty Towers!

Thanks to you both, Diana and Jarifa. It's always good to get the recap to discover how much I actually understood.
 

Papas

Susan, I’ll try to answer your questions, should add, to the best of my knowledge!. I looked up the cast of both shows and they give two different names for Lila. So two different girls. Yes, Iker is the son of good twin and Hernan. Still have trouble with that strange coupling . Tino had the one night stand with bad twin, who took over good twin’s job when she couldn’t work at the casino during the pregnancy. Both worked at casino, good twin first, where she met Herman. Bad twin seemed to be pretending to be good, she worked at the casino when good twin couldn’t. Bad twin hit good twin with the car. Herman was shocked and thought bad twin was so cold to casually run over her sister. I guess he was strictly a con man, not violent. I guess that’s why he dropped good twin off at the hospital. Bad twin thought she was dead. So the surprise for bad twin to learn good twin was alive. Hope this helped !
 

MONTEVERDE

Jarifa, your level of detail was as always superb. I was fascinated by every fact and observation, there is nothing you do not see or sense. Extraordinary, every word.

Our worst fears were realized; Carolina is incarcerated with imminent threats from some of the other prisoners. So much for "house arrest".

"Prosecutor Domínguez is in charge of Carolina's case and is there to question her. (Interesting it is a one on one with no lawyer present)" was precisely right! Are there no laws allowing/mandating counsel during interrogation?? This was hard to watch. He obviously has no empathy for any woman who has been swindled or mentally and/or physically abused by a controlling abuser. He's heard it all before? He may have heard it but he certainly didn't listen. Stone cold.

I never saw Carlos and Padilla's teaming up coming. Here the one thing we think could be her salvation might turn out to be her damnation. (I'm being a bit dramatic, I'm sure this will all turn out fine in the end ). 😊

"Cárcamo tells Juan David that from now on, he will have to sleep like firemen do: fully dressed a ready for action!" I mean, really?? Guests aren't exactly flocking to the hotel yet so what on earth could possibly so urgent that he would need to be there so quickly?

"She makes it clear that if there is something that Lucía needs to know, she will tell her herself. He concludes she is saying there is something". While Diego likely has good intentions (caring about Lucia), I thought he seemed a bit pushy here. Rosalia is getting enough pressure from Lucas. And now this? Lucas urging her to keep it zipped, Diego to spill. The men aside, I think Rosalia should tell her friend simply because it's the right thing to do.

I wonder what the Oscar/Erika confrontation will look like. I dare say we won't be waiting long.

Jarifa, yes, Sachi was in Fugitivas! She's a good actress and hope she soon gets bigger parts (she isn't even listed in the character list on Wiki)

Jarifa, thank you, thank you. Another exceptional outing!

MONTEVERDE

Kat, thank you!

It was Padilla we saw rifling through Carlos' desk but sadly he seems to have aligned with the devil.

"What an awful job for Juan David. On 24 hour call and only works for tips! I'm surprised such a small inn needs a bellboy at all. It's no Fawlty Towers!" was a great line.

Can't wait til tonight.

Diana
 

PAPAS

Liz and Susan, it really was shocking to watch "Bad twin" (love it) run over her flesh and blood. To his credit, Hernan did seem beside himself as well he should considering she is the mother of Iker, his son. At that time, there did seem to be a shred of humanity left in him but when he told Tino in the hospital that he didn't care if he died, it was obvious he was no longer a human being capable of any decency.

So tonight is it! What a long, arduous journey this has been. Thank you for leading the way Liz, illuminating every dark shadow and tunnel.

Diana
 

Papas
Is The Papas finale on from 8 to 10 tonight ? Susan
 

Papas

Liz, your explanations helped a lot . I guess I was having trouble unraveling what happened in that murky past. . Calling the twins Good Twin Bad Twin helped . I was confused about which one slept with Hernan (ugh) and which one slept with Tino.
P.s. Autocorrect always changes Tino to Vino....annoying . okay onward to the bitter end. susan
 

Domenica
Elvira, thanks for another excellent recap .
Pedro's reaction to Silvi's effort to seduce him was funny ...she's an older lady..ouch .
At !east we got some happiness with the wedding . Kiki's neon green dress ! Wow ! Love her eye rolls when she thinks nobody is looking .
Why is Kiki now kissing up to Gabriel ..literally ? Has anyone Been keeping up a count of every guy she has gone after for one reason or another ?
Susan


 

MONTEVERDE

Diana, you called it on Diego talking to Rosalía. I do not think he has really known her long enough (didn’t they just meet?) to bring up any issue regarding Lucía. The only good things about the interchange is that we know he has noticed that something is amiss and that it might push Rosalía to finally telling Lucía. She needs to make the trip to Zacatillo.

No surprise about Sachi not even being even mentioned. The Wiki characters lists have really deteriorated in recent years..

Yes, Erika is in the move and back in town much quicker than I expected.

Kat, if only Oscar would use his wealth in a good, logical way like hiring another PI.
 

Papas #81 part 1

Tino thanks the kids for the song. Emi says he wants to sing with the family again. Tino wants to get his family together again, including Lila. Circe says is he read
 

Papas #81 part one

Oops! Is he ready to give up Alexander to Lily. Good twin(thanks Susan) and Iker come in. Iker wants to see them. Can they go in the garden.

Aide comes to in a warehouse looking place. She goes to Lila, and Lila comes to. Aide says they have to find Alexander. Lila says it’s all her fault, she never should have trusted Melina. Aide explains about the twins. Bad twin entangled them all in her schemes. Bad twin walks in with a gun, and Alexander. She says two moms and a baby. It depends on them if Alexander gets to live.

Rino has been trying to contact Lila but she doesn’t answer. Em says they can trace her phone. He says she’s in her house. Bill comes in wanting to see Lila. Tino says she’s not here. Bill says she left the cafeteria, he checked her home, she wasn’t there.

Aide tells Alexander they’re going to go on a secret adventure. He may have to run very fast. He’ll have someone to help him, Lila. Lila is very. Lose to you. Lila asks for a kiss, he does. She’s crying, he asks if she’s sad. She tells him no, this the happiest moment of my life

Iker says he and his mom want to go back to their life in Queitaro. She thanks the kids for taking care of Iker and protecting him. Iker asks to speak to Scarlet. They walk off.

Emi tells Bill his dad is telling the truth. Tino gets a call from bad twin but tells them it’s the doctor. Bad twin says she has Aide, Lila and Alexander. He needs to meet her alone, the fate of his offspring depend on it. He tells them the doctor wants ro see him. Bill says he’s lying . He says goodbye to Emi.

Aide says it’s the call of the blood, she tells Lila to care for and love Alexander. Lila thanks her for all the love and care they gave him. Aide wants her to reconnect with Tino. She says she only thought of saving Alexander, never of Lily. Lila takes the blame for not saying anything. All is forgiven and they hug, Alexander wants to hug too.

Good twin and the kids come back in. He comments that Melina is allowed in but not him. They explain. Emi tells them Tino got a call from the doctor, he rushed out, acting strange. Good twin says it must be my sister, he’s in danger. Bill says he’ll go. Good twin goes with him. It’s time to face her sister They see Tino get in a car. They get in a car to follow. Good twin warns Bill her sister is very dangerous. Circe and Uli are going to help. The younger kids want to help too. Iker has an app his mom installed, they’ll be able to find her. Uli will drive the business vehicle.

Bad twins thug brings Tino to her. He’s tied in a chair. She kisses him and wonders if he prefers Aide’s kisses. He asks her to let them go. He will go with her. She says ok, but he has to decide which mom gets Alexander. The other one dies.

Bill and good twin seem to be close. He didn’t call the police. It might spook her. He’ll handle it.

Aide tells Alexander Lila loved him for a long time, from when he was little. She loves him too. She’s his mom from the heart but Lila is his true mom.

Rino asks bad bad twin if she’s sick. She says Aide or Lila, choose. He says she’ll never let either one live. Bill and good twin are close.


 

Domenica -

Thank you everyone for the comments, Babachita, Anon, Susan, and there are others who leave comments but by the time I see them, too much time had passed, thank you everyone.

There’s a lot more to cover for the episodes from 39-42 (43? Wednesday episode). I’m going to summarize things and please, everyone, correct mistakes and fill in gaps. I know my comprehension isn’t as good as some of you here.

It seems like little by little, Kiara’s “irresistible charm” is fading. Genaro isn’t interested, Max no longer wants to scratch the itch with her, because even though Max is a scammer, he disdainfully tells Kiara that he intends to be loyal to the love of his life, Domenica.

She slithered in and manipulated a kiss out of Luis Fernando, to which he responded to for about two seconds before coming to his senses. (Of course they were seen kissing by Prudencio, Nana and Nieves, who could see that Luis’s arm wasn’t being twisted, but also couldn’t see that Luis ultimately rejected Kiara). Kiara is so frustrated and needing validation that she virtually jumps on Gabriel, who doesn’t resist in the slightest.

More of her family is aware that Kiara is, well, trash. Word gets out about the kids with Luis. Tia is outraged, and Domenica thinks she “just doesn’t have what it takes” to keep a man, and is very depressed.

Now that Prudencio is working for Domenica, it seems like they’ll be three capataz-type jobs: Pedro and Prudencio (for the crops and the livestock), and Genaro (!!!!) is going to be in charge of administration. The money! No puede ser! The accounts are all going to be transferred to digital, on the computer, and Genaro has been trained on that. Pedro and Prudencio are still vigilant and realize what Genaro is probably planning. They don’t want to tip him off that they suspect him, though.

Pedro is able to be allowed to “help” Genaro with the accounting/computer. Genaro thinks that since Pedro just recently learned to read and write, that he will be too clueless to know what’s going on, but I think we know better.

Cosme’s widow has a makeover now that she’s the presidenta municipal of the Pueblo. She has it out with Genaro - they are equals (actually, she says she’s better), and she’s not having any of his macho BS as they continue doing their corrupt business together. Once he understands that she’s not going to tolerate his misogynistic nonsense, she makes it clear that after hours, he can scratch her itch, if you know what I mean. He’s all in favor of it.

End of part 3, more to come.

 

Domenica - oops, I mean I’m currently covering Monday-Thursday’s episodes.
